Yep breeding isn't it all.

Sometimes you see brothers and sisters do well in sport but it is rare, not as frequent as one would imagine, the same goes for offspring.

I would hazard to guess that only 10% of top athletes have siblings or children anywhere near their level.

The Williams sisters come to mind and a few footballers.

(I won't include motorsport because that is opportunity and money driven).
